Scaling and sustaining CIS and CSA through Bundled Business Models
Bundling agricultural innovations associated with CSA with other services such as climate information and financial services (e.g., combining crop varieties that resist drought or heavy rains with recommendations regarding best practices with access to insurance) is a key means to improve our ability to face these compound challenges. The synergist...
The intricate path of forage technologies in Colombia: An institutional analysis / El intrincado camino de las tecnologí...
To increase the productivity of tropical cattle systems and at the same time mitigate the environmental impacts of the cattle sector, a strategy of improving the quality and availability of cattle feed has been implemented through substantial improvements in forage germplasm (Herrero et al., 2013; Gerber et al., 2013; Peters et al., 2012). With thi...

...
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is a main food crop in Central America. Several improved varieties have been developed and released by different crop improvement programs in the region but many of these varieties are not used widely by farmers. One limitation is the lack of information about which are the best adapted varieties for each area wi...
The extent and economic significance of cultivated forage crops in developing countries
Forage grasses and legumes are the principal source of nutrition for most ruminant livestock in developing countries. Raising yields of forage crops can increase the availability and affordability of livestock products as well as reduce pressure on increasingly scarce land resources by enabling greater herd densities on existing pasture. However, t...
Panache: a web browser-based viewer for linearized pangenomes
Pangenomics evolved since its first applications on bacteria, extending from the study of genes for a given population to the study of all of its sequences available. While multiple methods are being developed to construct pangenomes in eukaryotic species there is still a gap for efficient and user-friendly visualization tools. Emerging graph repre...
What and who has determined adoption? A study on improved forage technologies in Colombia from an Agricultural Innovatio...
The complex process behind the adoption of improved forages in Colombia remains largely unexplored. Despite governmental and scientific efforts to promote and disseminate the implementation of improved forages for the sake of sustainable livestock production, local livestock producers continue to extensively use native species and adoption rates of...
Report on the cost-benefit analysis for integrating new forage technologies in cattle production systems in Kenya and Et...
This report presents the results of an economic evaluation of establishing new forage alternatives in cattle systems in Kenya and Ethiopia. In Kenya, we evaluated the inclusion (intervention scenario IN) of the grasses Panicum maximum cv. Maasai and Brachiaria hybrid cv. Mulato II, and in Ethiopia, Bachiaria hybrid cv. Mulato II and Brachiaria muti...
